This is the largest, but there have been 6-7 since 2000


Some up north. Some down south. But the acreage burned in those doesn't come close to this one. The size of this for a December fire may be unprecedented, but not the frequency. It will be interesting to compare the final acreage burned with that if the summer fires in Santa Rosa and Napa.

The problem is that we had a very rainy 2016/2017 which has resulted in a massive growth of underbrush throughout the state. Many have predicted a fire like this solely because of the abundance of fuel.
